Decathlon partners Carousell to give more second-hand bicycles a new lease of life

Sports goods chain Decathlon is expanding its online store for second-hand bicycles in partnership with e-commerce site Carousell.

The expanded scheme builds on a buy-back programme it started in October 2023 that lets users trade in used bikes for a store gift card equivalent to the bicycle’s value, a process that could be done through Decathlon’s website. It then refurbishes and sells the bikes.

The firm will now tap Carousell’s market and enable customers to book an appointment with Decathlon to trade in their bicycles via the Carousell app in exchange for a store gift card.

The bikes will be refurbished and put on sale via Decathlon’s official second-hand store on Carousell, found at @decathlon_secondlife.
